Passy Oct 7. 1780.
Dear Jonathan,

Enclosed is the passport for the Saltpetre. I found no Difficulty is obtaining it from the Farmers General. They would have made the Exchange if ours had been at Bordeaux or Marseilles; but at St. Maloes they have no Refinery.

I have received yours of the 26th. & 30th.

I enclose Letters also for M. Schweighauser & Messrs. Desegray & Co.

If it Should come too late for your Ship, you can Ship it in the Jay.

I am, Your affectionate Uncle.

M. Williams.
